Hi there. It makes sense that less sleep leads to greater depression, especially in teens. They are already full of emotions and need the energy to be able to regulate them. It would also make sense that this spiked during COVID since a lot of schools went to an online platform where kids didn’t even have to go to school during lockdowns. So, their schedules were changed during COVID and then changed back afterwards – creating a lot of inconsistency in things like times of eating, relaxing, and sleeping.
Overall it is a great article, and I look forward to reading more of your content!

At first I really wondered how therapy targeting natural sleep patterns can improve depression in teens. Well, maybe it is possible. As someone who has dealt with depression in the past, I can definitely relate to the struggles that teens face.
Sleep plays a crucial role in our health and that obviously affects our mind, and it’s great to see that there are therapies focusing on improving sleep patterns to help alleviate depression. Personally, I’ve found that establishing a consistent meditation routine and practicing relaxation techniques before bed have made a positive impact on my own mental well-being.
It’s important to address the underlying causes of depression and not just rely on medication alone. Overall, I think it’s a step in the right direction to prioritize natural approaches to improving mental health.

Hi there! This research, though focused on teens, strikes a chord for everyone. It underscores the intricate dance between our sleep habits and mental health – which should be spoken about more often. The idea of tailoring therapy to align with someone’s natural sleep patterns feels like a breakthrough that could apply to any age group. It sparks a broader conversation about the societal structures, like early school start times, that might be working against our well-being. It’s not just about teens; it’s about all of us understanding the deep connection between our internal clocks and mental wellness – at least from my perspective.
